Top 4 Small Forwards

  1. Josh Jackson ($6,800) vs. Orlando Magic
  2. Harrison Barnes ($6,200) vs. Charlotte Hornets
  3. Denzel Valentine ($5,600) vs. Detroit Pistons
  4. Mario Hezonja ($4,100) vs. Phoenix Suns

Rationale:

  • A five-game slate of contests along with a slew of injuries to his teammates makes Phoenix Suns small forward Josh Jackson the priciest option at the position in FanDuel NBA leagues. Jackson has thrived on both ends of the floor, posting averages of 20.8 points, 6.8 rebounds and 1.8 steals per game over the last five contests. Devin Booker may return from a hand injury tonight, but if he sits, then Jackson will be the primary offensive option for the team, elevating his value in FanDuel NBA leagues.
  • Harrison Barnes has regained his shooting touch, propelling him into a must-start at the small forward position in FanDuel NBA league play for Saturday night. Over the past four games, Barnes is averaging 24.3 points, while connecting on 48.7 percent of his attempts from the field and 50 percent of his 3-point shots. Along with his lofty scoring average, Barnes has posted 4.3 rebounds and 2.8 assists per game, making him a bargain at just $6,200 for a FanDuel NBA roster spot.
